RING SPINNING, DOUBLING,

AND TWISTING MACHINE.

Specification of Letters Patent. Application and December 17, 1909.Serial No. 533,720.

Patented Feb. 27,1912.

To all whom it may concern: v

Be it known that I, AUGUST Joaonns, residing at. Kettwig on-t-he-Ruhr,Rhenish Prussia, Germany, a subject of the Emperor of Germany, haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Ring Spinni Doubling, anTwisting Machines, of whic the followin is a specification. y inventionhas reference to ring spinning, rin doubling andtwisting machines inwhich the spindle of the cop or pirn carries at its'top a disk forthepurpose of guiding the thread'and the object of my invention is toprovide means for removing and lacing again a nuniber of such disks,simulaneously, in ordemo permit of easily changin said cogsg'r. 'irus. v

10 pergn "off J invention being clearly understoodfI will furtherdescribe the same Figure 1 illustrates part 0 a ring spinning machine.Fig. 2, is a horizontal section ofthe device shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 isa vertical section thereof.

Referrin to the said figures a is the frame of the winding, spinning,doubling or twisting machinr b is the spindle, which is 1'0- tatablyjournaled in the frame and fitted with a wharve c, and is driven fromthe usual. pulley or drum by a band 0 Upon said spindle is placed thesleeve '21, on'which the cop or pirn is formed and which revolvestogether with the spindle b.

d is the plate which is moved upand down, in the usual manner, and whichcarries the ring shaped rail 0; on which the traveler e engages asshown. The top portion of the spindle supports a disk 9, which'is detachably secured thereon and for which purpose. the said top of the spindlemay be slotted, as shown, to aii'ord afriction anchorage, or

also the disk may be varied in its shape and constructirm, its purposebeing to guide the thread It which is drawn through the rollers Is, andthen through the wire loop i, to the disk g, then through the traveler eand on the sleeve v, as shown, to build up the cop. As will he readi'yunderstood, the disk permits ameasy spinning, holding the yarncontinuously at a, uniform distance from the spindle, so that tearing ofthe yarn is avoided. D

Now in order to easily withdraw the cops or pirns,'built up in themachine, I have arranged means by which any number of the disks g may besimultaneously lifted from their spindles, and replaced again, after thecops have been removed. For this purpose I provide a i shaft m runningalong the back of the frame a, and journaled thereon in such a mannerthat it may be shifted to and fro and turned atthe same time. s is anordinary' bracket carrying said shaft. 01. s is a bracket provided witha slot 8 which -is engaged b a pin u, projecting from said shaft m', anby this means. the shaft m is guided for movement longitudinallyrotaivly. On said shaft are fixed arms n, for eachdisk g, whichareconstructed to engage a diskwhen brought in contact by shifting theshaft m, by means-of the lever 1, and

It will be obvious that the construction de-.

scribed may be varied the main requirement being to detach a' number ofdisks simultaneously to permit easy removing of the cops or pi'rns.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

In a ring'spinning, doubling and twisting machine the combination with'a spindle, a disk removably mounted thereon, a rod extendinglaterallyof said spindle and having a disk engaging arm thereon, a mounting forsaid rod, means for longitudinally moving said rod to engage said armwith said disk, and means serving upon such longitudi'nal movement torotate said rod to remove the disk.
